Great glutton food if you're looking to splurge for a night. Might need to go for a walk afterwards and undo the top button of the pants, but, well worth it. read more

Disclaimers: - No the inside isn't the biggest. I was a bit hesitant about that before going as well. - Yes it's really only a burger joint. They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice read more

Burger Antics - Mac n' Cheese - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

Burger Antics is one of the most fun and delicious burger spots in the area. They're always coming up with creative, flavorful combinations, one of my favorites had a ramp chimichurri that was so good I actually asked for a to-go container to take some home. The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows. read more

Great people and great burgers! I was a little uncomfortable in the restaurant because of the music and decor, but that's my preference. The burgers were cooked perfectly, I loved the bacon on the burgers, and the pretzel bun was a nice addition. The fries tasted homemade and were a little too salty, but it made it taste good. I also was not a fan of the house brined pickle because it was too salty and sour for my taste. read more

I have to laugh out loud because it seems like people or one person just copies and pastes the same thing over and over on Google and Yelp. Wording is slightly different from one review to the next but complaints are still the same. We came on a Wed night after 8 pm. Parking can be rough since it's shared with other stores and restaurants. Luckily, we found one spot that was at the very end of the strip. Depending on what time you arrive, you may have to circle the block or park in one of the nearby neighborhoods. The restaurant itself isn't super small like some may exaggerate. They have a decent amount of tables, not crowded. Service was great. My server was very friendly and attentive. Our water was always refilled. The music was definitely not loud. We ordered deviled eggs, mushroom swiss burger, and peanut butter bacon 'n jelly burger. Deviled eggs were good but $7 was too much for 4 pieces. Price should have been like $3-4. There were no fancy toppings on them. Just FYI, the fries comes with the burgers automatically. Both burgers were cooked medium rare. Mushroom swiss was juicy, greasy, and tasty. You'll definitely need to wash your hands afterwards. The peanut butter and jelly compliment the pbb&j burger, it did not taste weird or anything of that sort. The jelly does get messy though but it'll taste well with the fries. The fries were seasoned and not overly salty. You don't really need the ketchup but the ketchup is house made. Burger prices were about $17 each. Good size portions. read more

We came here after the zoo. We had 3 toddlers 4 adults. They offer changing table and high chairs. If your kids can't seat still this isn't the place for you as the restaurant doesn't have much space. Our waitress was very professional, kind to our kids and knowledgeable about the menu. Restaurant was very clean and cozy. The first thing you notice is the Bar. Very modern looking. I started off with old fashion and fried pickles. Old fashion was great . For the fried pickles you can still smell the fresh batter like they didn't fry it long enough. Then I had the mushroom Swiss burger with fries. I'm not sure what kind of seasoning they use but it was very tasty. If you want a good burger this is the spot. They offer free street parking. read more

Many trips, many burgers. Everything is always excellent from the food to the staff. Not really much to be said that already hasn't. Like most of these burger places you should always be getting the chips instead of fries. Here they're exceptionally good. Most recent trip I had the Fireball burger of the week. It was topped with demons and they lit it on fire and I cried while I ate it. Where else you going to do that ? read more

Burger Antics - This is the Fireball. It's on fire. You will be on fire. - Burgers Near Me - Brookfield, Illinois

The burgers and Mac n cheese are very good! The place is very clean, and service is friendly!

Man o man - just look at the pictures of Burger Antics and it'll say enough (haha). This was my second time being here and it was just as good as the first time. Honestly, it was hard to top my first experience but man, this time topped it with just an overall amazing experience. Service, food, sauces, PB&J Burger... all fantastic. Our server was great and patient and taught us about drinks / the food menu. If you never been: 1. You're missing out 2. I highly recommend. I would say this place is even worth traveling for (geez that's a big statement haha). Go out of your way to give this restaurant a try! It's a vibe & good time! Personal Review: 9.2/10 read more

Absolute worst customer service. We joined the wait list and were told it was a 30 minutes wait, however we waited over an hour and a half to not be seated. In addition, several groups of people were placed ahead of us eventhough we joined the waiting list an hour and a half ago. We were extremely patient and it sad that we couldn't get anything to eat. Even as I write this review we're still waiting to be called after waiting an hour and a half. Absolutely insane. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Getting something good to eat in Brookfield can get hard. It has a few good places if you look. Burger Antics is one of these, which is located downtown. Conveniently located close to public transportation, which is good. The prices are pretty good for the burgers, which are big and include black bean patties for those foregoing meats for plants. Came here for the burgers of course. It also of course would be for the vegan and vegetarian friendly ones. There were seats open at the bar so we sat there. Drinks are the other main thing on the menu. Lots of beer as well as cocktails such as a Paloma. It's about $12 for a cocktail. These are small and therefore kind of overpriced. As for the burgers, these are big. It's about $14 for a burger and a side. An option is the Build Your Own Damn Burger. Basically it's making a burger with the choice of toppings. A lot to choose from. Each of us got the black bean and rice patty. On mine there was the free toppings such as lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Also you choose a side, and I got it with chips. There's a few others to choose from such as fries. Has lots of combinations for burgers. It's a good place for hanging, drinking, and eating. The burgers are big and there's options for meat eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians. read more

We came here on Saturday morning for brunch. They had bottomless mimosas, so that was great. You got to choose from 4 juices (pineapple, orange, cranberry and grapefruit). I had the classic cheeseburger, but they have a burger of the week. People from my group had it and it was delicious. Not pictured is the Mac and cheese. If you like creamy you'll love this one. We added chorizo to ours. To go we had the coconut pie shake and omgggg 10/10! The staff was all very nice! I really enjoyed my time here. read more

Tiny little place with fantastic handmade burgers and fries. We were traveling through Chicago and needed gluten free options. There were reviews in yelp but the ones that mentioned GF were a few years old. I had to leave one because I live and die by Yelp reviews when we travel. It was well worth taking the chance. The burgers were perfectly done to medium as requested, piled high with pickles and caramelized onions (we had the Midland) and the GF bun was even a nice texture. My husband had the hand cut fries, even though there was going to be cross contamination, and they were very yummy. I had the Cole slaw ( the only side that was truly GF) and found it to be nicely seasoned and better than the run of the mill restaurant Cole slaw. Our server was friendly and smiling and provided just exactly the right amount of attention. I also loved that there were sound absorbing panels on the walls. This meant we could have a conversation and hear each other without yelling even with every table full. It makes a difference!Overall, this place was a home run! read more

I have been a loyal customer of Burger Antics for years, always enjoying the food and tipping the staff very well. However, after last night's experience, I will never return. We arrived and were told there was a wait, which we completely understood. We patiently waited outside as requested and returned 20 minutes later to find two open tables. When I asked the host if we could be seated, he refused, saying there were two parties ahead of us--even though they were completely unresponsive to calls. I pointed out that we were present, ready to be seated, while these no-show parties were holding up service. Despite our loyalty and the obvious availability of tables, both the host and manager refused to accommodate us. When I made it clear that if we weren't seated immediately, we would take our business elsewhere, the manager simply responded with "bye." This level of unprofessionalism, rudeness, and poor business practice is inexcusable. Turning away a loyal customer in favor of absent guests makes no sense and is a disgraceful way to operate. If this is how they treat regulars, I can only imagine how they treat new customers. Plenty of other restaurants appreciate their patrons--this one clearly does not. Save your time and money. There are far better places that actually respect and value their customers. read more

Walked in here and got sat right away on a Saturday during lunch. Staff were incredible! Beer options were good. Burgers, fries, and pub chips were out of this world! I'm taking 1 star off for the pickles and deviled eggs. I personally felt like it needed something more to turn up the flavor. Besides that, it was cute, very chill, and I would definitely come back! Great job today Burger Antics I'll be back to try more! read more

Saw this spot on TV. I thought we'd try it out. Got there right before closing! Climate was warm and inviting. Interesting setup. The server was excellent. They took our orders and served us right away. Although we got there late, the food was still spot on. Burgers were thick, juicy, and filling, just like I love it. I ordered the BBQ with cheddar and bacon. My gurl ordered the burger special of the day with kale?' Both were very good. Had mine medium. Spot on. I just wish I had a lil more char. That's personal preference. The only reason I didn't give this spot 5 stars us because I believed the burgers were pricey. I don't know about those prices. Other than that, very good meal read more

Small local burger place with a bar in the back. They played rocked music which was great. Our server was wonderful, friendly, approachable and professional. We started with the fried pickles which was okay. I didn't love that it's was fried as spears instead of chips. Beer batter was good and I enjoyed the ranch sauce that accompany the fried pickles. I got the Hotter than Hell burger with cole slaws. Burger wasn't as spicy as I thought but it was cooked perfectly to my liking and had a great spice level. I wasn't too impressed with the cole slaws. It lacked flavor. The fries would have been a better option. read more

Great food! Fun dining outside with friends or family. Service was good too. Downtown Brookfield is always a great place to be!

We ate there tonight, my first time eating at Burger Antics. I had the "Make Your Own Damned Burger" and my friend had "BBQ Bacon Cheddar" burger. The service was immediate and very efficient, The place was clean and there were some unique signs on the walls, my favorite was one that stated "Corn Dogs .69cents or 2/$1.38" . The burgers and fries were very tasty. Highly recommended. Five Stars. read more

Boutique burger joints are about as common as strip-mall micro breweries these days. They are everywhere. It's seems like social media posts a "best burgers in ........" article every other day. IMO, that equates to a good amount of above average burgers, but few that actually stand out. Burger Antics in Brookfield Illinois stands out. Tucked away in a little corner of the somewhat chic downtown area, Burger Antics has been dishing out delicious burgers with handmade condiments for a few years now. I've been there many times in the past, but this was my first time back since I became "elite", and I'm trying to step-up my review game... Lol! The establishment is super trendy... And only seats probably 40 people or so. Expect to wait on weekends because this has become a spot that people are now traveling to get to. However, what's really great is that they have never lost that neighborhood restaurant vibe. Our waitress Izzy was absolutely fantastic. Warm and friendly, she knew the menu like the back of her hand, and as we were sitting there, many local patrons came up to her and hugged her... Engaging in light conversation - asking about how she's been doing. A true sign that Burger Antics has woven itself into the neighborhood fabric. The only way that an establishment such as this one gets to be this popular is by delivering above average food consistently. I will tell you that the burgers, fries, mac & cheese, and appetizers at this place are all fantastic. The craft beer menu is modest, but features many local brews, and the crafted cocktails are also a very good. We were seated outside in front of the establishment on this visit - and the weather was perfect. I had a Pilsner from Miskatonic Brewery in Darien, IL and it was a perfect complement to the breezy, sunny evening. My wife had their take on a Paloma and she said it was a cut above. For our meals, my 16-year-old daughter had the mac & cheese, and as usual, it did not disappoint. My wife opted for a goat cheese marinara appetizer special as her meal. They served it with toasted pretzel sticks, and it was warm and delicious - with just enough seasoning to give it a little kick. I went with the Midland Burger on this trip - medium rare - with their house-made chips. Their burger patties are always cooked perfectly, and the flavor of the patty itself is top-notch. The Midland featured a house made Dijon mustard, English cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and pickle chips. It should be noted that Burger Antics makes their condiments from scratch. They are wonderful. If you roll-up looking for some Heinz ketchup, keep rolling brother, but you will not know what you're missing. Burger Antics makes sure they take extra special care of ALL parts of your meal, and it shows. If you're looking for an epic burger, and you don't want to fight the traffic and hassle of going into the city, this is my go-to spot!! read more

first time going to burger antics and I will be going back. The burger I Had was over cooked. The place is kinda small on the inside and was very busy. I Was a bit shocked by a burger I saw people ordering that had peanut butter and jelly. They all said it was delicious. I plan to back go maybe this weekend or next and maybe this 4 star with become a 5 star with this peanut and jelly burger. read more

Ok well my experience was good here staff are friendly and super nice and attentive. Place is clean and the bar looks stacked up the drinks are also very good. And the burgers are good but I will tell you that you can actually share a burger with someone or you can eat it all by your self. My burger was the 4 cheeses and it was fine till half way too much cheese for me and my friend had the PBJ burger he said it was actually good but he did add jalapeños to it. The bbq chip super good. I will definitely come back and try different burgers and sides and drinks next time. read more

I used be a huge fan of this place. Tonight was pretty rough. We stopped in for dinner and the place wasn't too busy. Our ordering experience was all good, we ordered a mountain burger (burger of the week), midland and pb&j burger along with a few beers. The beers came, for a $7 beer it was pretty disappointing to only get 2/3 of a full glass, the rest was foam. Burgers came, pb&j burger had chewy barely cooked bacon and there was quite a bit more peanut butter than is normally on it, pretty dominating but still pretty edible. Midland burger was really good, all burgers were cooked perfectly. The mountain was definitely not worth the $25 price tag, a pretty one note burger, I expected more salt and acid on it than it had. We ordered another set of beers, the hamms had to be cooled down before they came to us and were still warm. Overall I'd go 2.8 on tonight's $100+ dinner, most likely won't be back anytime soon. read more

The burgers were AH-mazing! My husband and I should have split one, we both ended up taking half home.

Came in with 6 total people including a THREE year old who brought with him a tiny bit of outside food. He's a picky eater (we are trying) never once has this been an issue but we were told he was not allowed to eat the outside food in the restaurant. While understandable, over $6 of outside food, they lost out on 5 full grown adults spending money on food, drinks, and apps. Kinda crazy. Place looked delicious tho! read more

Maybe it was an off night? 1. Service was excellent, very kind and attentive. 2. The wait was not. The dining room only has about ten tables, and I still waited almost fifteen minutes for a drink from the bar and almost forty for food, while I watched people who came in after me get theirs. 3. Drink was good, very strong for the price. 4. Ambience - while clean, the decor is let's say eclectic? And it's not very relaxing. I was hoping for a chill dinner where I could linger a little - this is not that kind of place. The lights are cafeteria bright after sunset, and it's very much a family place, with lots of kids and babies even into the evening on a Friday. Not what I'd call a good date or solo dinner spot. Nothing about it makes it feel like a place you'd want to hang out - I pretty quickly regretted sitting down to eat instead of getting takeout. 5. Most disappointing - the food. The fries were awesome - no issues there. The toppings on the burger (The Midland) were really solid, and the burger was cooked correctly, but...maybe I came in with high expectations based on the reviews. I was not wowed. The burger was dry, not juicy, and the pretzel bun was doughy and not toasted for a single second. It added up to a burger I could have competently cooked at home, and honestly, I could have done some things better. I would definitely be willing to give them another shot now that I've adjusted my expectations, but best burger? Definitely not. read more
